The latest in a series of atrocities committed by our military really has to be the end of our engagement with terrorists in Afghanistan. Far too often innocent Afghan civilians have become 'collateral victims' in our war against terrorists which is now centered on the Taliban who are Islamic fundamentalists since we effectively removed the a-qaida from Afghanistan. I might add that if we really wish to bring religious fundamentalism into this century, it might be wiser for us to start in our own country!
Our military behavior over the past ten years is certainly NOT the way to introduce a primitive peoples to the 21st century! We must stop our habitual attempts to 'nation-build' the 3rd world! This is just another time when our military has been totally wrong in how we should defend our nation from its enemies, Vietnam being a prime example. Therefore it is time for my President and commander-in-chief, Obama, to quickly negotiate and accelerate the removal of our military from that nation. As long as we stay there, things will get worse because we have burned our bridges and have no hope, no matter how socially justified, to have any future success with that nation.
I understand that there are many social adjustments we would have liked to have performed, especially for women and girls, such as education and equality, but under the circumstances we will never be able to 'free' those people. We blew it! We need to leave that country as soon as possible.
Hopefully we'll be wiser next time when we decide to change the world into our image.
